All the fear and the fire of the end of the world 
 Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl 
 Happens great, happens sweet 
 Happily, I'm unfazed here, too 
    Wasteland, baby 
 I'm in love, I'm in love with you   
 All the things yet to come are the things that have passed 
 Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass 
 Like the bonfire that burns, at all worth in the fight fell too   
 Wasteland, baby 
 I'm in love, I'm in love with you 
 And I love too, that love soon might end 
 Be known in its aching 
 Shown in the shaking   
 Lately of my wasteland, baby 
 Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking 
 Though quaking, though crazy 
 That's just wasteland, baby   
 And that day that we'll watch the death of the sun 
 That the cloud and the cold and those jeans you'll have on 
 And you'll gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins   
 Wasteland, baby 
 I'm in love, I'm in love with you 
 And I love too, that love soon might end 
 Be known in its aching 
 Shown in the shaking   
 Lately of my wasteland, baby 
 Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking 
 Though quaking, though crazy 
 That's just wasteland, baby   
 And the stench of the sea and the absence of green 
 Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen 
 Not an end, but the start of all things that are left to do   
 Wasteland, baby 
 I'm in love, I'm in love with you   
 That's it
